At what point will we not be able to detect them?
Comment on Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation

I remember being at a conference when a guy walked up to a group of us chatting. wearing a Google Glass. Everyone stopped talking, turned around, and just scattered. A while later he walked into the men’s room and someone reported him to security. That afternoon, the glass was gone.
Guess nobody learned that lesson.

When your mom briefly mentions hers and you realize your conversations have been recorded for god knows how long.

If my mother has one then uncontacted tribes in the Amazon also have them. She’s only recently learnt that you can send gifs in messaging apps. Now it’s all I get.
At some point I’m going to have to have a conversation with her about how memes have meaning, and you need to respond with the right one, and not just like a random one.

And those were just assumptions about if it was recording. People should make similar assumptions about someone holding their phone or carrying it in their shirt pocket.
All I’m saying is the fact we already have recording devices everywhere (our phones) means the transition into acceptance for glasses will happen. As long as the usefulness of the glasses is high enough.
The usefulness of Google Glass was basically zero. So it went away quickly. The whole project was just intended to be a stunt, so Google could look like they were ahead of the curve. I’m convinced of that.

Google literally never gave it a chance, no one ever got access to the damn things I don’t think anyone was even given the opportunity to write apps or even looking to how to theoretically do that.
Same with wave, it was drowned in the bath after only a couple of months of existence, who knows what it could have turned into.
